modular-launch-pads's Issues

RO_Basic_Patch is not available anymore via 'extras'

The basic RO/RP-1 tech tree patch is not available anymore.

https://github.com/AlphaMensae/Modular-Launch-Pads/blob/bbab246a2c4bf69e9972c9ca9cf72c284a4e5c5f/Extras/RO_Basic_Patch/RO_Basic_Compatibility.cfg

Additional information: the basic patch for RO has been integrated in RO itself.
But the RP-1 config is not available via RP-1. So either that needs still be available via MLP or needs an integration in RP-1

RP-1 compat was removed when RO_Basic_Compatability.cfg was removed

When the Realism Overhaul compatibilty patch was moved into RO, the patch for RP-1 was removed without any replacement.

Some part of the original file should probably be re-introduced to allow for compatability.

Mod is too awesome

Mod is too awesome. would love that one early stage rocket stand i saw you making on stream that one time. but then i would need to buy a coffin, cause the mod will kill me with rays of awesome.

Duplications in AlphaDev?

I am using AlphaDev and noticed that I had some parts being multiplied (like 6x) in the RnD center display window. So, I figured I had done something to invoke the bunny-effect.

Upon investigation, I found the DEV branch, unless I'm not understanding, has a number of parts duplicated.

EX: PART[AM_MLP_LaunchPlateRnd1] exists in both Launch_Plates & Launch_Stands. The only differences between the configs are: MODEL[model], TechRequired, entryCost, and description.

MY understanding of things is that KSP will load BOTH configs regardless, but in the end, the HighLander-effect takes over. The Launch_Stands config will overwrite the Launch_Plates config because it is Alphanumerically after and only one PART[name] can exist.

====
And, no, that had zero to do with my original problem. That was from having

part = AM.MLP.LaunchPlateRnd1
part = AM.MLP.LaunchPlateSqr1
part = AM.MLP.LaunchRailMini
part = AM.MLP.LaunchRailSmall

added multiple times to the end of the ResearchAndDevelopment scenario's Tech node, somehow.

MLP General Mounting Platform TechRequired

The TechRequired for your MLP General Mounting Platform (General_Basees/Mount_Platform.cfg) is set to generalConstruction rather one of your custom tech nodes.

Saturn Mobile Launcher v2 Subassembly No Longer Valid

The Saturn Mobile Launcher v2 Subassembly is no longer valid and cannot be used since the removal of the Saturn-Launcher-TSM-New.cfg file.

Allow the Saturn V Swing Arms to work with Stock Parts

Currently it appears that the Saturn V Swing Arms only work the the BDB Saturn V. Can you please design them to also work with stock parts such as the 5.0m tanks from Making History?

1.12.0, manual install not working

I can't install it manully, it just fails to do it, The Gamedata folder inside the KSP Gamedata folder? or just the entire folder? cfg also didnt work, it didnt do anything. Please, is this compatible with 1.12.0.3140? How do i install it? CKAN says it isn't compatible.
PLEASE TELL ME!

Dev branch: Atlas Launch Stand: Stand Color

Currently only the first two values for Stand Color apply a color change. The remaining 5 or 6 values all set it to the same color as the first value.

Saturn Launch Free Base heavy

The freestanding saturn launcher base in the extras is 1999 ton too heavy.
This can be resolved by changing the mass to 1, just like the shuttle freestanding launcher base is

General Bases make delta v for all stages as zero.

I had this issue even though there were updates. Does this happen to anyone?

Latest MAS update has caused the "black screen" bug to reappear

The latest (and final) patch for MAS has made some changes to the MM patches that mod uses to apply its features, which seems to have caused the previously-fixed "black screen" bug (#16) to manifest again.

KSP.log

Throttle Cannot be Adjusted Prior to Launch

I'm having an issue where I cannot throttle up or down prior to launch while using modular launch pads. Once I revert to using the base game launch clamps the issue is no longer there.

(Release 2.2.0b) Vessel state is not properly updated

When using 2.2.0b with KSP 1.10.1, the vessel state is set to splashed instead of flying low upon staging, leading to wonky physics. I have not tested extensively with different launch bases, but the issue is definitely present on "Flat Launch Base 1 - Mini Frame". Downgrading to 2.1.2 Fixes this issue.

Screen goes black when detaching from soyuz base

Instruments not affected, only world view, and is resolved usually with some distance from the pad.

Saturn V General Arms Revert to Non-Retracted Position After Animation Finishes

When using the Saturn V General Arms and decoupling them to swing back, after the animation finishes the arm goes back into it's non-retracted position at the end of the animation.

Redstone Launch Stand collider

The Redstone Launch Stand has a small collider at the bottom of the pole. The collider still exists when the pole is disabled and can cause 'phantom torque' by colliding with the rocket on detachment. This is more noticeable if you happen to have adjusted the pole in closer before disabling it.
